Abstract
Further understanding at neuroscientific and personality levels should considerably advance our ability to deal with individuals that have s trong sociopathic tendencies. An analysis of neurodynamic responses to emotional stimuli will eventually be able to detect sociopathic tende ncies of the brain. Such information could be used to enhance the opti ons available to individuals at risk without limiting their personal f reedoms.
